The 2024 Guangzhou Auto Show, the new Alfa T5, goes on sale for 123,800 yuan.

On November 15th, 2024 Guangzhou Auto Show was successfully held. At this auto show site, the new Alfa T5 was officially launched. The new car launched five sub-models, with a terminal retail price range of 123,800-167,800 yuan, and also launched five-fold car purchase benefits. As a modified model, the overall appearance of the new car still continues the design of the current model, but the details and configuration are optimized and upgraded.

In terms of appearance, the new car completely subverts the design language of Alfa T and S. Its triangular headlight group is extremely sharp, and its built-in three-stage daytime running light is even more fierce. The narrow front grille is cleverly embedded between the two lights, which makes it difficult to associate with the identity of new energy. The front shovel at the bottom is slightly convex, with double-sided diversion grooves, which is full of movement. The convex rib line design on the hood pushes the sporty atmosphere to a climax.

On the side of the car body, the overall shape of the new car is heavy and full, and the design of the suspended roof is younger and more in line with the current fashion trend. The penetrating waistline in the middle of the car body and the two rib lines in the lower part of the car door are on the rise, showing a more flexible car body posture. The dense blackened rim with red brake calipers further enhances the overall sporty atmosphere. In terms of dimensions, the length, width and height of the new car are 4690/1936/1650mm and the wheelbase is 2845mm respectively.

The rear of the new car adopts a unique through taillight design, which cleverly broadens the visual breadth. The delicate light source texture inside the taillight echoes the headlight group at a distance, and it lights up instantly, which not only has high recognition, but also reveals a strong sense of science and technology. The tail of the car abandoned the classic "Little Fox" LOGO of the polar fox and replaced it with a simple and atmospheric ARCFOX letter logo. The bottom is decorated with silver fender, and the inverted triangle design like racing pilot light is embedded under the license plate frame, which adds a touch of bright embellishment to the rear of the car.

The interior design of the new car advocates minimalist aesthetics, and the multi-function steering wheel with double spokes and flat bottom inherits the family classics, with perfect precision. In front of the driver, the traditional dashboard is absent, replaced by a large-size touch screen suspended on the center console, which is convenient to control and the physical buttons are almost extinct. The central armrest in the front row is outlined with unique Y-shaped lines, showing personality. Seats, steering wheel and armrest boxes are all wrapped in environmentally friendly materials, so as to make the air inside the car pure, almost zero formaldehyde and benzene, and create a healthy driving space.

In the power part, the new Alfa T5 is driven by permanent magnet synchronous motor, which provides two different power versions, the maximum power is 185 kW and 200 kW respectively, and the maximum torque is 360 Nm. The battery is available in 65 kWh and 79.5 kWh, and the cruising range of CLTC is 520km, 630km and 660km. In addition, the car is also equipped with 800V high-voltage SiC platform, with the maximum charging power of 370 kW, 30%-80% charging time less than 9 minutes, and 500km can be recharged after 15 minutes of charging.

Questioning "Prevention" and "Treatment" of Infectious Diseases

eight moon29 On the morning of, the 4th meeting of the 12th the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) held a joint meeting to make a special inquiry about the prevention and control of infectious diseases and the implementation of the law on the prevention and control of infectious diseases in the State Council. The prevention and control of infectious diseases has always been an important part of public health, especially in recent years.2003Since the outbreak of SARS in, the prevention and control of infectious diseases in China has experienced several major tests. Like the flu, fromH5N1 Bird flu to AH1N1 The flu, and then to the nearest one.H7N9 Bird flu is a challenge every time, and the intensity of infectious disease prevention and control work and the improvement of coping mechanism are also becoming more and more perfect and obedient in every challenge.Rong. At the same time, the new problems of infectious disease prevention and control caused by the new social situation can not be ignored. The report submitted by the State Council to the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) for deliberation summarized the prevention and control of infectious diseases and the implementation of the law on the prevention and control of infectious diseases in the past decade.2004 Since, the epidemic situation of infectious diseases in China has been generally stable, and the annual reported incidence and mortality of Class A and B infectious diseases have been controlled respectively.272 10 Wanhe1.25 10 Below ten thousand. Major infectious diseases have been effectively controlled. Among them, the epidemic situation of AIDS is generally at a low epidemic level, the prevalence rate and mortality rate of smear-positive tuberculosis have dropped significantly, and the epidemic situation of schistosomiasis has dropped to the lowest level in history. At the same time, it has effectively dealt with highly pathogenic avian influenza and A.H1N1 Outbreaks of new infectious diseases such as influenza. In addition, the ability of monitoring and early warning of infectious diseases is also constantly strengthening. Most medical and health institutions have realized real-time online direct reporting of legal infectious diseases, and the average time for medical and health institutions to report step by step after discovery and diagnosis has changed from before direct reporting.five The days are shortened to the present.four hour

Member He Yehui raised an inquiry.      Member Chen Weiwen asked.    Member Feng Changgen asked.

In the first half of this year, in the face of new human infections,H7N9 The epidemic situation of avian influenza has been effectively controlled by rapid action and scientific response from various localities and departments, and has been positively evaluated by the World Health Organization and the World Organization for Animal Health. But at the same time, the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases in China is still facing a grim situation. The first is the double pressure from traditional infectious diseases and emerging infectious diseases. Nearly ten yearsIn recent years, there is a new infectious disease in China almost every one to two years. It is difficult to find and diagnose many new infectious diseases in the early stage, and the early mortality rate is high. Secondly, the large-scale population movement has also increased the difficulty of prevention and control work. Floating population is easy to be susceptible to infectious diseases,2012 In, imported cases accounted for the majority of malaria cases reported in China.91.1%. In addition, changes in the environment, production and lifestyle have also increased the complexity of the prevention and control of infectious diseases.

The special inquiry on the prevention and control of infectious diseases and the implementation of the law on the prevention and control of infectious diseases is the first special inquiry held in the 12th the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC). The right of inquiry is an important supervisory power entrusted by law to the National People’s Congress and its Standing Committee, and thematic inquiry is different from general inquiry, with clearer theme and more substantive content.

How to curb the spread of tuberculosis infection?

Tuberculosis is an old infectious disease, and now the number of new tuberculosis cases in China is about100 Ten thousand, which is equivalent to two new cases of tuberculosis every minute, can’t be underestimated. In this special inquiry, some members asked what effective prevention and control measures the government has taken to curb the spread of tuberculosis infectious diseases.

Li Bin, director of the National Health and Family Planning Commission, replied that tuberculosis is a traditional infectious disease and a major public health problem facing the whole world. China is one of the countries with high burden of tuberculosis, and the party and government have always attached great importance to the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis.80 Since the 1990 s, China has continuously implemented three ten-year plans for tuberculosis prevention and control, and now the fourth plan is being implemented.

Li Bin introduced that the central government has specially arranged special prevention and treatment expenses for tuberculosis, from2004 Free treatment for ordinary pulmonary tuberculosis patients began in, which has accumulated to1013 Ten thousand tuberculosis patients received free treatment. By this year, there will be another one in the country.7.5 Ten thousand rural drug-resistant tuberculosis patients have also included their treatment costs in the new rural cooperative medical system. In addition, improve the prevention and control mode and improve the prevention and control ability. In the past ten years, the newly discovered smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients are40 More than 10 thousand cases, the cure rate is in90%Above. from2008 Since 2000, a standardized treatment pilot for multi-drug resistant pulmonary tuberculosis patients has been carried out among high-risk groups, and the coverage of this treatment pilot city has reached.91 A city. The key population, including floating population tuberculosis patients, also receive free diagnosis and treatment. In view of schools, which are prone to cluster epidemics, we should pay attention to publicity and education, physical examination, epidemic report and disposal, and implement the main responsibility of schools. At the same time, carry out applied research. Since the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan", the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis has been included in major scientific research projects, mainly to develop the rapid diagnosis technology of tuberculosis, the application and development of drugs and new vaccine technologies, and improve the level of prevention and treatment.

"The next step is to further improve the prevention and control ability in accordance with the requirements of the Law on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases, emphasize the implementation of control strategies, improve the quality of prevention and control, and increase efforts to enable patients to find and standardize treatment at an early stage. At the same time, increase social publicity and education, so that every citizen knows how to prevent tuberculosis and enhance the awareness of self-prevention. Vigorously publicize and prevent key populations and schools and other easy places. In addition, efforts should be made to tackle key problems in the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis, and the safeguard policies and mechanisms should be further implemented. We strive to control the harm of tuberculosis to people’s health to a minimum, do this work well and protect people’s health. " Li Bin said.

How to prevent and control the cross-border spread of diseases?

In the past ten years, a new infectious disease has appeared in China almost every year, and the spread of new infectious diseases depends largely on the flow of population, including the flow of cross-border people. For example,2008 In 2006, a new mosquito species was found to have settled here during a monitoring at Ruili Port in Yunnan. This mosquito can carry viruses such as yellow fever and dengue fever.

Some members asked, what are the characteristics of cross-border spread of infectious diseases in China? How to prevent and control infectious diseases in China’s border ports and border areas? What other loopholes are there?

"I’ll talk about loopholes first. Now China’s ports should pay more attention to health and epidemic prevention in general, but the development is uneven. Some large ports, airports and coastal ports, and some large land ports should be said to have strong health and epidemic prevention capabilities, but now mainly some temporary ports and seasonal ports have poor foundations, lack of equipment and personnel, and there are still relatively big hidden dangers. " Zhi Shuping, director of AQSIQ, replied.

"Now the risk of cross-border spread of infectious diseases in the world is becoming more and more serious. According to relevant experts, the newly discovered pathogens of infectious diseases in the world are now infected nearly.40Species, half of which have been found in China. China now has a long border, especially a long land border, such as Yunnan, Guangxi and Xinjiang, which are bordered by countries with complex epidemic situations. Now, the medical foundation is weak, multi-ethnic groups gather, border people have frequent exchanges, supervision is difficult, and the risk of cross-border spread of diseases is relatively high. "Zhi Shuping said.

Li Guoying, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Water Resources, answered questions and Wang Guoqiang, Deputy Director of the Health Planning Commission, answered questions.  Zhang Mao, Director of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, answered questions.

How to defend against zoonosis?

The complexity of infectious disease prevention and control brought by changes in environment, production and lifestyle is a major challenge for infectious disease prevention and control. For example, in some areas, the less optimistic environmental conditions and traditional production and lifestyle make some zoonotic diseases continue to occur. In recent years, bird flu has occurred every spring, from2003 AnnualH5N1 The outbreak,arrive2004 Years,2005 Year after year.H1N9H9N2, and then to this year’sH7N9. The virus is constantly mutating, and the phenomenon of bird-to-bird transmission has begun to appear. If the virus mutates again, whether there will be human-to-human transmission in the next step has always worried everyone. How to supervise from the source has become an urgent problem to be solved.

Some members asked what specific management measures are there for the urban live poultry market in terms of preventing animal-borne infectious diseases? How to further improve it in the future?

"Now China’s annual slaughter of poultry is probably140 About 100 million birds, Chinese consumes a lot of poultry, and many poultry are farmed by farmers’ families, which is large and scattered. At the same time, the sales of poultry raised by farmers in the bazaars are random. On the other hand, Chinese’s habit of eating live birds and fresh things, which has been cultivated for many years, can hardly be fundamentally changed in a short time. Zhang Yong, director of the Food and Drug Administration, said that in view of these problems, the Food and Drug Administration will actively cooperate with relevant departments in accordance with the law, further improve the code of conduct and supervision of live poultry business in the market, effectively strengthen the prevention and control of infectious diseases, and take some targeted measures. First, in view of the momentum of frequent cases of human infection caused by infectious diseases of poultry, we should actively implement the measures of "fixed-point slaughter of poultry and listing of white-striped poultry" in the live poultry market in cities to reduce live poultry on-site transactions. First of all, it will be promoted in large and medium-sized cities and places with high population density. The second is to strengthen publicity and education, and actively advocate a safer way of poultry food consumption. Third, according to the deployment of the Legislative Affairs Office of the State Council, we are working with relevant departments to revise the food safety law, and will conduct special research on issues such as the quality management of poultry market transactions, and strive to further clarify relevant management regulations and requirements at the legislative level.

"As a market supervision and law enforcement department, the industrial and commercial department has been actively cooperating with relevant departments to strengthen the prevention and control of animal epidemics in the live poultry market according to the requirements of emergency regulations on major animal epidemics." Zhang Mao, director of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, said that especially this year, all departments jointly prevented people from being infected.H7N9 In the epidemic work of avian influenza, we participated in the prevention and control work according to the requirements of the joint prevention and control mechanism, and mainly did three tasks. First, according to the decision of the local government, participate in the work of closing the live poultry market. Second, actively cooperate with relevant departments to urge market promoters to implement various prevention and control measures, and increase publicity on laws, regulations, measures and knowledge of prevention and control policies. Third, based on the functions of industry and commerce, strengthen daily market supervision according to law. In the next step, SAIC will continue to guide local industrial and commercial departments to give full play to their advantages in working closely with the market, actively cooperate with relevant departments, do a good job in market supervision of various live poultry markets according to their duties, and strengthen the joint efforts to prevent animal-borne infectious diseases in the market.

In addition, responsible persons of relevant departments in the State Council also answered questions from the members of the Standing Committee on the hygienic status of drinking water in rural areas, medical assistance for people with difficulties in emerging infectious diseases, support policies for the prevention and control of infectious diseases in poverty-stricken areas in western China, publicity and education on the prevention and control of infectious diseases, and the construction of teams for the prevention and control of infectious diseases.

It has been more than three years since the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) made a special inquiry about the special work in the State Council.2010 yearsix Since the first special inquiry in June, it has been the first time.10 Field, the central final accounts, national food security, deepening the reform of medical and health system, affordable housing construction and other related areas of hot spots and focus issues were once the contents of the inquiry, and also reflected the general concern of the broad masses of the people, so that the government and relevant departments can improve their work in a targeted manner and promote the solution of practical problems.

China Sinopharm and Kexing COVID-19 vaccines entered the "COVID-19 Vaccine Implementation Plan" vaccine library.

Xinhua News Agency, Geneva, July 12 (Reporter Chen Junxia and Nie Xiaoyang) GAVI)12 released a press release on July 12, announcing that it had signed pre-purchase agreements with China Sinopharm Group and Kexing Company respectively, which means that Sinopharm and Kexing vaccines have entered the "COVID-19 Vaccine Implementation Plan" (COVAX) vaccine bank and can be supplied to COVAX for COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control in developing countries from July.

COVAX is dominated by the World Health Organization and the Global Alliance for Vaccine Immunization. According to the press release, considering that these two vaccines have entered the WHO emergency use list, they can be supplied to COVAX participants immediately. According to the agreement, two China companies can supply COVAX with 110 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine before the end of October this year, and then supply it for a long time.

The agreement between GAVI and China comes at a time when the world, especially developing countries, urgently need to expand vaccination coverage and curb the spread of Covid-19. Seth Berkeley, CEO of GAVI, said in the communique: "I welcome today’s agreement, which enables COVAX participants to get vaccines immediately."

The relevant personnel of the Permanent Mission of China to the United Nations said that the signing of the agreement between the two companies and the Global Alliance for Vaccine Immunization is an important manifestation of China’s commitment to implement vaccine as a "global public product" with practical actions. China government has been actively encouraging and supporting China vaccine research and development enterprises to participate in COVAX and provide vaccines to developing countries. At present, a number of COVID-19 vaccines in China have obtained emergency use licenses in China, and a number of vaccines are in the clinical trial stage. In addition, many China vaccine companies have expressed their positive intention to join COVAX. We expect more China vaccines to enter the WHO emergency use list as soon as possible and be selected into COVAX vaccine bank as soon as possible, thus making positive contributions to global solidarity against the epidemic.

Changan automobile can’t get back to its peak: the joint venture brand is depressed, and its own brand is big but not strong.

  For a long time, among the top three independent automobile brands (Geely, Great Wall and Chang ‘an),Has always been a slightly embarrassing existence. On the one hand, Changan Automobile has a long history, which can be traced back to the Shanghai Yangpao Bureau during the Westernization Movement, and belongs to one of the four earliest automobile groups in China.

  In terms of sales volume, the total sales volume of Changan Automobile also ranks first among the top three independent companies for a long time, and it is also the first self-owned brand automobile enterprise in China to exceed 1 million vehicles. According to the data of the 2021 annual report, Changan Automobile achieved a sales volume of 2.301 million vehicles throughout the year, including 1.755 million vehicles of Changan’s own brand, up 16.7% year-on-year. In contrast, Geely Automobile,In 2021, the total sales volume was 1.328 million and 1.28 million respectively, which was obviously different from Changan Automobile.

  In addition, Changan Automobile was once the automobile enterprise with the largest number of joint venture brands, and has successively established strategic partnerships with multinational companies such as Ford, Suzuki, Mazda, Volvo and PSA, and has owned several joint venture brands such as Changan Ford, Changan Mazda, Changan Suzuki and Changan Peugeot Citroen (sold).

  On the other hand, due to the problems of state-owned enterprise system, low-end products and over-reliance on joint venture brands, Changan Automobile’s operating efficiency is not high, its revenue scale and net profit level are among the lowest among the three independent companies, and its operating performance fluctuates sharply. During the period from 2018 to 2020, Changan Automobile deducted non-net profit for three consecutive years, with a total loss of more than 10 billion yuan.

  Because of this, Changan Automobile’s presence in the secondary market is not strong. Before 2021, the market value of Changan Automobile hovered around 100 billion yuan for a long time.

  In 2021, Changan Automobile was with Huawei,The joint launch of Aouita, a high-end brand of new energy vehicles, has attracted a lot of attention. The total market value of the company has doubled in four months (May-August 2021), and the total market value once exceeded 150 billion yuan. Since then, because the progress of Aouita is less than expected, Changan Automobile’s share price has fallen sharply again, hitting an interval low (6.40 yuan/share) on April 27th, and the total market value has dropped back to 68 billion yuan.

  Dramatically, since April 27th, the share price of Changan Automobile has increased by more than 200% in two months. On June 28th, Changan Automobile’s share price closed at the daily limit (20.35 yuan/share), and its market value climbed to 201.9 billion yuan, breaking through the 200 billion yuan mark for the first time in history and becoming a relay of A shares.After Great Wall Motor, it is the fourth complete vehicle enterprise in China with a total market value exceeding 200 billion yuan.

  It’s not hard to find that favorable policies such as halving the purchase tax and the release of new cars of Aouita and Deep Blue brands have become important catalysts for Changan Automobile’s share price increase.

  On May 31, in order to further encourage automobile consumption, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation issued the Announcement on Reducing the Vehicle Purchase Tax for Some Passenger Cars, which clearly stipulated that the vehicle purchase tax would be reduced by half for passenger cars with a displacement of 2.0 liters and below whose purchase date was from June 1 to December 31 and the bicycle price (excluding VAT) did not exceed 300,000 yuan.

  In addition to favorable policies, the promotion of new energy automobile business is also a catalyst for the rise of Changan Automobile’s share price. On June 25th, at Chongqing Auto Show, Changan Automobile exhibited six electric electrification products including Changan Deep Blue SL03, UNI-K iDD, UNI-V iDD, Auchan Z6 iDD, LUMIN and Aouita 11. In particular, Aouita, blessed by Huawei and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, is regarded as the hope for Changan Automobile to break through in the field of new energy vehicles.

  The rise of share price undoubtedly represents investors’ longing and expectation for the future development of Changan Automobile, but from a fundamental point of view,Changan Automobile’s joint venture brand is difficult to return to its peak, its own brand is big but not strong, and the progress of new energy vehicles is backward, and so on.Remove the aura of Aouita, Changan Automobile is still the slightly moderate Changan Automobile.

  Independent brands are big but not strong.

  From the perspective of revenue composition, Changan Automobile is divided into two parts: joint venture brand and independent brand. Among them, the joint venture sector mainly includes Changan Ford and Changan Mazda, and its own brands mainly include Changan Automobile, Auchan Automobile, Kaicheng Automobile (commercial vehicle) and the newly released two new energy brands, Aouita and Changan Deep Blue.

  According to official data, Changan Automobile achieved a sales volume of 2.301 million vehicles in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 14.8%, and its sales volume returned to the fourth place in the automobile group. Of course, this data includes the total data of China brands and joint venture brands, passenger cars and commercial vehicles under Changan Automobile Group.

  Specifically, Changan sold 1.755 million China brand cars, a year-on-year increase of 16.7%; Among them, the cumulative sales of passenger cars in 2021 exceeded 1.2 million, up 23.1% year-on-year.

  In terms of passenger cars, Changan brand and Auchan brand achieved sales of 966,000 and 228,000 respectively, up by 20.0% and 49.0% respectively. In terms of new energy vehicles, Changan Automobile Benben E-Star sold more than 70,000 vehicles in the whole year.

  In addition to passenger car business, commercial vehicle business also occupies an important position in the total sales of Changan Automobile. According to the data, Changan commercial vehicles include eight series of products, including micro-passengers, light passengers, micro-trucks, light trucks, pickup trucks, commercial MPV, large and medium-sized buses, school buses and corresponding new energy sources, special vehicles, etc., and they have products brands such as "Changan Ruixing, Changan Shenqi, Changan Kaicheng, Changan prodigy, Changan Ounuo, Changan Star and Changan Star Card". In 2021, the annual sales volume of Changan Kaicheng brand exceeded 185,000 units.

  In terms of joint venture brands, Changan Ford sold 304,700 vehicles in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 20.29%. Among them, Lincoln brand sold 89,000 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 109.1%. Changan Mazda’s annual sales volume was 89,700 vehicles, up 5.28% year-on-year.

  It can be seen that although the sales volume of Changan Automobile’s own brand claims to have exceeded 1.75 million, this data includes the sales volume of more than 500,000 commercial vehicles. From the perspective of passenger car sales alone, the sales volume of Changan Automobile’s own brand is only 1.2 million, accounting for about 52% of the revenue, and the total sales volume is not as good as that of Geely Automobile (1.32 million).

  In addition, due to the low-end products and the slow promotion of new energy vehicle business, Changan Automobile’s own brand has been in a state of being big but not strong. As can be seen from the following figure, although Changan Automobile’s vehicle sales rank first among the top three independent companies, it is not as good as Geely and Great Wall in terms of revenue scale, net profit and average bicycle price, and the sales of new energy vehicles also rank last.

  Changan Automobile started as a mini-car and then entered the passenger car market. According to the sales data in 2021, the main sales models of Changan Automobile are still CS series and Yidong series.

  Among them, the CS series covers SUVs in the price range of 60,000-210,000, and the sales volume in 2021 is about 540,000, accounting for about 36% of the independent brands; Yidong brand mainly focuses on the car market below 100,000 yuan. In 2021, the sales volume is about 170,000, and the revenue accounts for about 11%. In addition, the sales volume of Auchan series, a low-end model converted from commercial vehicles to passenger cars, is about 228,000, accounting for about 15%.

  In terms of vehicle types, the CS75 model is positioned in the compact household SUV market of 100,000-120,000 yuan. In 2021, the cumulative sales volume exceeded 280,000, accounting for 14% of the sales volume. Yidong is positioned in the low-end car market of 70,000-90,000 yuan. In 2021, the annual sales volume exceeded 170,000, accounting for 10% of the sales volume.

  In addition, three low-end models, changan CS55, Auchan X5 and Changan Benben EV, account for 9%, 9% and 5% of Changan Automobile’s own brand sales respectively, and their prices are all below 100,000 yuan.

  Unlike Changan Automobile products, which are mainly concentrated in the low-end market, Geely and Great Wall have successively launched independent high-end brands such as Lectra and WEY since 2016. In 2020, the annual sales volume of Lectra reached 175,000 vehicles, up 37% year-on-year, and basically stabilized the mid-to-high-end market.

  Facing the backward situation in the mid-to-high-end market, Changan Automobile did not launch the UNI series positioned in the mid-to-high-end market until 2020. In 2021, Changan Automobile UNI series achieved sales of 120,000 vehicles, accounting for about 8%.

  However, even as a high-end series of Changan brand, the price of UNI series models is still concentrated in the market range of 100,000-150,000 yuan. Among them, the guide price of UNI-T, the first model of UNI brand, is 113.39-133.9 thousand yuan, and the price range of UNI-K, the second model, is 153.9-184.9 thousand yuan. In contrast, the products of Geely Link brand and Great Wall WEY brand are mainly concentrated in the market of 150,000 yuan and above.

  Due to the difference in product structure, the average ex-factory price and profitability of Changan Automobile’s new cars are significantly lower than those of competitors such as Geely and Great Wall. As can be seen from the following figure, in the past four years, Changan Automobile’s sales volume ranked first among the top three independent companies, but its net profit level was far less than Geely and Great Wall.

  In addition, unlike Geely and Great Wall Motor, whose main profits come from independent brands, Changan Automobile’s operating performance is highly dependent on the joint venture brand Changan Ford. Therefore, if the profit contribution of the joint venture brand is not considered, the gap between the profitability of Changan Automobile’s own brand and its competitors will be even greater.

  2

  Joint ventures are no longer brave.

  Similar to SAIC, Changan Automobile’s operating profit is highly dependent on Changan Ford, a joint venture company, while its own brand is in a state of meager profit or even loss. From 2015 to 2017, the net profit of Changan Automobile was 9.923 billion yuan, 10.277 billion yuan and 7.208 billion yuan respectively. Among them, the investment income from joint ventures and joint ventures is 9.440 billion yuan, 9.564 billion yuan and 6.855 billion yuan respectively, of which more than 90% of the profits come from Changan Ford.

  According to the data, Changan Ford was established in April 2001, and the shareholding ratios of Changan Automobile, Ford Asia Pacific and Ford Motor (China) are 50%, 35% and 15% respectively. In 2016, the sales volume of Changan Ford reached a historical high of 940,000 vehicles, and contributed 9.08 billion yuan of investment income to Changan Automobile.

  However, the sales of Changan Ford have gone from bad to worse since 2017 due to problems such as the broken shaft of Changan Ford Maverick and the aging of products. The data shows that from 2017 to 2019, the sales of Changan Ford were 828,000, 337,800 and 184,000 respectively, with year-on-year declines of 12.27%, 54.37% and 51.3% respectively.

  With the sharp decline in sales volume, Changan Ford’s operating performance also fell sharply, and it fell into a loss during 2018 -2019. In this context, the operating performance of Changan Automobile has also been severely impacted. The data shows that from 2018 to 2020, the non-net profit deducted by Changan Automobile was-3.165 billion yuan,-4.762 billion yuan and-3.25 billion yuan respectively, and the net operating loss during the three years exceeded 11 billion yuan.

  Facing the total collapse of the China market, Ford Global decided to separate the China market from the Asia-Pacific region and become the two core markets of Ford alongside the North American market. In April 2019, Ford Motor Company released the "Ford China Product 330 Plan", and plans to launch more than 30 new models in the China market in the next three years. Since then, the new Focus, Ford Ruiji and Ford Explorer have been listed, and Lincoln Navigator/Aviator/Adventurer SUVs have also been localized.

  With the update of vehicle models and the launch of Lincoln brand, Changan Ford’s sales and operating performance also rebounded. In 2020, Changan Ford sold 253,300 vehicles throughout the year, up 37.67% year-on-year; In 2021, the sales volume of Changan Ford reached 304,700 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 20.29%. Among them, Lincoln brand sold 89,000 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 109.1%; The net profit was 2.284 billion yuan, which was significantly higher than the net profit of the same period in 2020 (16 million yuan).

  However, the sales volume and net profit level of Changan Ford in 2021 are far from the peak in 2016. Through simple comparison, it can be seen that Changan Ford’s sales volume in 2021 is still less than one-third of that in the same period of 2016, and its net profit is only 13% of that in the same period of 2016. In addition, if the sales volume of Lincoln brand is not calculated, the sales volume of Changan Ford in 2021 is only 215,000, which is almost the same as that in 2019 in the trough period, which shows that the sales volume of Ford, the main brand, has not really improved.

  In addition to the aging problem of products, the slow transformation of electrification is also an important reason why Changan Ford’s sales are blocked. Up to now, Changan Ford’s new energy vehicles are only sold in the leading EV, sharp hybrid version and Mustang Mach-E (electric mustang). Among them, the leading EV belongs to Jiangling Ford, while the monthly sales volume of the sharp plug-in hybrid version has been less than 100 since its launch, and the cumulative sales volume has been less than 1,000.

  As the first electric vehicle of Changan Ford, Ford Mustang Mach-E (Electric Mustang) was not officially delivered in China until December 26th, 2021. By the end of May 2022, the cumulative sales volume of Mustang Mach-E was less than 500 vehicles.

  The latest data shows that from January to May this year, Changan Ford sold 85,500 vehicles, down 13.87% year-on-year. Among them, the sales volume in May was 13,200 units, down 32.4% year-on-year. Obviously, with the rising of independent brands and the rapid penetration of new energy vehicles, it is difficult for Changan Ford, which lacks pure electric explosion models, to return to the peak, and the road to recovery is probably still very long.

  It is difficult for Aouita to carry the banner.

  Since the second half of 2020, new energy vehicles have become a key point to rapidly increase the market share of independent brands. BYD, Geely and other car companies have successfully achieved double growth in sales volume and brand upward with the help of transforming new energy. However, in the field of new energy vehicles, Changan Automobile is still in a relatively backward state, which further aggravates the difficulty of its brand promotion.

  According to the data, Changan Automobile entered the new energy vehicle much earlier than its competitors. As early as 2001, Changan Automobile began to research and develop new energy technologies and developed the first hybrid prototype. In December 2009, Chang ‘an Benben MINI EV went off the production line, with a cruising range of 50km and a top speed of 120km/h, becoming the first pure electric vehicle in China.

  However, due to problems such as too small battery capacity, too long charging time, short battery life and poor heat dissipation, Changan Benben MINI EV did not realize mass production immediately. It was not until 2017 that Benben MINI was listed in the promotion catalogue of new energy vehicles of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

  In April 2015, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the Notice on Financial Support Policies for the Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles in 2016-2020, to carry out the promotion and application of new energy vehicles nationwide. Since then, Changan Automobile has launched three electric vehicles in 2015, 2016 and 2018, namely Yidong pure electric version, Ounuo pure electric version and Changan Benben LOVE pure electric version, but they all belong to "oil-to-electricity" models, and the market response and sales volume are relatively flat.

  It is not difficult to see that although Changan Automobile entered the new energy vehicle early, it did not really tackle the technical problems, so that Changan Benben MINI EV could not be mass-produced because of battery problems after trial production, while Yidong pure electric version, Ounuo pure electric version and other models were all "oil-to-electricity" models, and more were introduced for subsidies.

  It is this short-sightedness in strategy that finally made Changan Automobile fall into the end of "getting up early and catching up late" in the field of new energy vehicles. From the sales list of new energy vehicles, except for the occasional list of Benben EV, several other models have a flat response. In 2020, Changan Automobile’s new energy vehicle sales volume is only 34,900 vehicles, accounting for only 1.5% of the sales volume, and it is mainly A00-class cars.

  Facing the backward situation in the field of new energy, Changan Automobile, together with Huawei and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, jointly launched the high-end electric brand Aouita and released the first model Aouita 11. At the same time, it launched a brand-new digital pure electric brand "Changan Deep Blue" and released the first strategic model C385 of Changan Deep Blue.

  With the blessing of two giants, Huawei and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, Aouita science and technology has attracted much attention. In March this year, Aouita Science and Technology conducted the first round of financing, and the registered capital of the company increased from 288 million yuan to 1.172 billion yuan. Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited officially became the second largest shareholder of Aouita Science and Technology with a shareholding ratio of 23.99%.

  However, the joint efforts of the three parties have certainly improved the level of power battery technology and intelligence in Aouita, and alleviated the financial pressure of Changan Automobile to a certain extent, but it will also lead to the core technologies of Changan Automobile, such as driverless driving and power battery, being controlled by others.

  In fact, Changan Automobile has fallen far behind competitors such as Geely and Great Wall in battery technology, pure electric platform and driverless driving. For example, as early as 2019, Geely created the vast intelligent architecture of SEA, and Great Wall Motor subsequently released the intelligent electric platform for coffee. However, it was not until April this year that Changan Automobile released the all-electric EPA1, mainly serving Changan Deep Blue.

  In January this year, the B round of financing of Changan New Energy was settled, with a capital increase of 4.977 billion yuan, and the shareholding ratio of Changan Automobile was diluted from 48.95% to 40.66%. According to the company’s plan, Changan New Energy will start the IPO process.

  However, from the operating situation, Chang ‘an’s new energy situation is not optimistic. The data shows that in 2021, Changan New Energy achieved an operating income of 5.632 billion yuan and a net loss of 2.772 billion yuan, which further expanded compared with the same period last year (1.16 billion yuan).

  In addition, from the perspective of shareholder structure, Changan New Energy’s capital contributors are mainly financial investors such as Bank of Communications Yubo No.1 and Chengyuan Fund, which obviously lacks the support of industrial capital. With the technical strength of Changan Automobile alone, it is difficult for Changan New Energy to compete with a number of new forces, such as Geely Krypton, SAIC Zhiji, Weilai, Tucki and Ideality, which have been mass-produced.

  People familiar with Changan Automobile may know that as early as 2017, Changan Automobile put forward the "Shangri-La Plan" strategy, announcing that it would completely stop selling traditional fuel vehicles in 2025 and invest 100 billion yuan in the whole new energy vehicle field. By then, Changan will launch 21 new pure electric vehicles and 12 plug-in hybrid vehicles.

  In the following 2018, Changan Automobile set a new sales target: in 2020, the sales volume of new energy vehicles was 350,000, entering the first echelon of the industry; By 2025, 1.16 million new energy vehicles will be sold, making China the first brand.

  At present, Changan Automobile is unlikely to achieve this goal. In 2021, the sales volume of new energy vehicles in Chang ‘an was 108,900, far below the target of 2020 (350,000). From January to May this year, Changan Automobile’s new energy sales volume was 51,000 vehicles, with a market share of 3%, ranking eighth among manufacturers in terms of sales volume.

  Therefore, although Changan Automobile seems to have ambitious goals in the field of new energy, it still gives people a feeling of "old wine in new bottles". In other words, Changan Automobile, an old tree, is trying to sprout, but its spring is far from coming.

Huawei’s HarmonyOS OS 4.2 upgrade plan was announced, with more than 180 devices, which were upgraded from April to June.

I didn’t wait for Huawei P70 series, but waited for HarmonyOS OS 4.2 upgrade plan, which is good news for Pollen!

Recently, Huawei officially announced the HarmonyOS OS4.2 100-machine upgrade plan. This time, a total of over 180 devices can participate in the upgrade. Apart from mobile phones, tablets, smart screens, headphones and smart watches are also included. It is expected that the upgrade will be carried out in April-June. Do you have your mobile phone?

At present, Huawei Mate60 series, Huawei P60 series, Huawei Mate50 series and Huawei Pocket 2 series have all started to participate in the public beta of HarmonyOS OS4.2, and Huawei nova 12 series is expected to open the public beta in late April. The remaining models, including Huawei P50 series, Huawei P50 Pocket, Huawei P40 series, Huawei Mate40 series, etc., may be pushed back, and the public beta will be started one after another from April to June. The specific models are shown in the following table:

It is worth noting that this time, many models of Glory can also participate in the upgrade plan of HarmonyOS OS 4.2, including Glory V30 series and Glory Play4 Pro.

What are the new features of HarmonyOS OS 4.2, except that the overall performance of the system has been greatly improved and the fluency is higher? In particular, the satellite communication function of Huawei Mate60 series has also been specially adjusted, and its satellite connection speed is faster and more stable. At the same time, Huawei has strengthened the security of the system and built a perfect end-to-cloud collaborative system, which is used to monitor some potentially malicious software more comprehensively, and also has stronger identification ability for some high-risk applications and viruses, thus bringing users a cleaner, more stable and safer system environment.

The question is, should HarmonyOS OS 4.2 be upgraded? On this issue, you can look at it together with the fact that the new iOS system value is not worth upgrading! Apple’s iOS system can be said to be a "recidivist". The reason why iPhone users are worried that they will regret after upgrading is because Apple has used the iOS system to upgrade and pulled out the "nail house" model, but Huawei’s HarmonyOS OS system is different.

Every upgrade can not only improve the overall performance of the system, but also take care of many users of "nail house" models. Even the independent Glory model is within the scope of upgrading models. From this point of view, HarmonyOS OS 4.2 system is worth upgrading, and can be upgraded actively! Boldly trying and experiencing HarmonyOS OS system is also a kind of support for domestic operating system, don’t you think?

Also a famous director, Yan Min of "Extreme Challenge" has a new trick! "Ace" is disturbing

Tencent Video has launched a new variety show called "New Journey". Friends who often love to chase variety shows are instantly blown up when they see this name. How is it like the "New Journey to the West" by Luo PD, a famous variety producer in South Korea? So without a word, I started to curse at this variety show: it is plagiarism at first glance, it is too uncreative, and the things of Korean sticks are copied over.

Who would have thought that when he opened the program to see how shameless the program was, he suddenly discovered that the program director was Yan Min, who had directed the first four seasons of "Extreme Challenge"!

At this time, the face-slapping scene was staged. The variety show has nothing to do with South Korea’s "New Journey to the West". This variety show is an immersive role-play tabletop game set in "Journey to the West". The fixed MC includes Lin Gengxin, Yue Yunpeng, Huang Zitao, Chen Feiyu, Wang Yanlin, and also hides a big boss Huang Bo. The first 20 minutes of the show made everyone laugh and vomit, which is really interesting.

Lin Gengxin and Zhang Ruoyun, a pair of silly roe deer and Erhazi, Huang Zitao, a talented perfect comedy variety artist, and Chen Feiyu, who can be developed, all made everyone’s eyes shine. The jokes of the specific show can only be understood by everyone watching it themselves. In short, most of the viewers who watched it gave high praise.

The variety show "Ace vs. Ace", which also met with everyone this weekend, has gone through seven seasons, which is quite long. But this latest episode makes everyone feel very upset.

One is to deliberately tear up. On the second day of the broadcast of the program, there was a topic on the hot search. It said "Zhang Shaohan’s mother". The netizens who have been eating melons all year round thought that her mother was going to be a demon when they saw this news, but in fact, it was the program that made Zhang Shaohan "open her heart", and she had to cut out her heart to everyone alive and uncover the scars for everyone to see. Although everyone understood that the interview on the program should have been communicated with the artist in advance, and Zhang Shaohan agreed to say it. But everyone also understood that the artist is also a part-time worker, and he has come to work. Since you agreed to the invitation of the program, they further put forward other requirements, and you can only do it obediently. Zhang Shaohan can only bring up her own scars and expose her own shortcomings. In the face of such deliberate tearing, the audience expressed that everyone was really uncomfortable.

Then there is the length of the advertisement, which takes up almost half of the content of the program.

A show that can be broadcast for seven seasons has its charm, and a fixed audience tunes in on time. As a result, it has easily won the favor of many advertisers. Advertisers’ favor is one thing, and the overflow of advertisements is another. During the show, the host looked up at the teleprompter more often than they did seriously, and they were all looking at the teleprompter for any screenshot.

2015’s "Extreme Challenge" and 2016’s "Ace vs. Ace" were the first to meet everyone. Both of them became national-level variety shows, and they were also accused of plagiarism. But now, a few years later, the director of "Extreme Challenge", Yan Min, has changed, while Wu Tong of "Ace vs. Ace" is still playing in the same place.

The reason for this state may first be the mutual excitation of MCs.

One thing I have to admit is that the men chosen in "Extreme Challenge" help six people, and it is difficult to re-enact. Those who have watched the show have all experienced their charm. To some extent, several MCs made the show more exciting. Then, Huang Lei and Yan Min collaborated again on "Drama New Life", and Huang Bo appeared in this "New Travels", which forced the director to improve.

In addition, another reason is the difference in attitude of the platforms behind it.

When "Extreme Challenge" was in full swing, Dragon TV was tied up. Faced with all kinds of constraints, it began to be a demon, which eventually led Yan Min to leave the show with his team, and the men’s gang also scattered. Although "Extreme Challenge" is still broadcast on TV, everyone knows that this is extremely challenging. It is also because of the vague attitude of a platform that Yan Min has to start to cooperate in different ways, and there are more different attempts with Bilibili and Tencent.

However, "Ace to Ace", which was held in the palm of Zhejiang Satellite TV, was able to attract many star guests to help it from the beginning because of its arrogance and aggressive spending. This has led to the feeling that there are many defeated children today.

Only by comparing can we make progress. If you do well, please continue to maintain it. If there are still shortcomings, you should reflect on yourself more, so as not to be left behind by the times.

How to alleviate the "difficulty in buying food"? Five aspects of Shanghai’s anti-epidemic "guarantee for supply"

  Xinhua News Agency, Shanghai, April 11th Question: How to alleviate the "difficulty in buying food"? — — Five aspects of Shanghai’s anti-epidemic "guarantee for supply"

  Doing a good job in ensuring the living materials of 25 million citizens is the basis and key for Shanghai to win the battle against epidemic. Recently, some citizens have reported that "it is difficult to buy food" which has aroused widespread concern. Xinhua News Agency "Xinhua Viewpoint" reporter launched an investigation.

  Source of supply

  In the middle of the night, in Taizhou, Zhejiang, and Yuhang, Hangzhou, which are hundreds of kilometers away from Shanghai, the lights are brightly lit in the two city sorting centers where people are working nonstop to prepare emergency supply packages for the closed communities in Shanghai. Potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, corn, apples, cereals and eggs are about to be sent to Shanghai.

  For some time, many suppliers have reported that due to the epidemic prevention policies in various places, trucks and vegetable vendors from other places can’t supply vegetables to Shanghai in time, and some vegetable direct supply bases can’t transport them, which puts pressure on the "source" of Shanghai’s supply.

  "At present, the battle against epidemic in Shanghai has reached the most critical moment." Chen Tong, deputy mayor of Shanghai and head of the special class of living materials support of the municipal leading group for epidemic prevention and control, said that with the joint efforts of various security agencies, the storage of rice, grain, oil and meat in Shanghai is relatively sufficient at present. At the same time, Shanghai has also locked in the supply of vegetables and pork outside the city, which can be transported to Shanghai at any time.

  Gu Jun, director of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce, said that Shanghai pays close attention to the production situation in the main producing areas, strengthens ties with the main producing areas of vegetables and pork such as Shandong, Yunnan, Zhejiang, Anhui and Sichuan, and locks in local sources. "The national ministries and commissions have established a ministerial-level coordination mechanism to smooth inter-provincial transportation. We continue to promote the inter-provincial logistics non-contact delivery mechanism. At present, three domestic materials transfer stations in Kunshan, Jiangsu, Pinghu, Zhejiang and Xijiao International in the city have been put into operation."

  More market players are still joining. "JD.COM will provide Shanghai with more than 16 million pieces of rice, flour, grain, oil and other livelihood commodities." Wang Wenbo, vice president of JD.COM Group, said that through urgent national allocation, the first batch of key guaranteed supplies have arrived in Shanghai by "special car" and "closed-loop traffic", including over 80,000 maternal and child supplies and over 100,000 medicines and epidemic prevention supplies.

  App grabs food

  Affected by the epidemic, there is a gap in the distribution capacity of some e-commerce platforms in Shanghai. In order to grab food, some citizens set three or five alarms a day.

  He Hui, who lives in Changning District, exposed the "big gift package" distributed free of charge on the street. She said that since she worked at home during this time, she would set an alarm to grab food every night and morning. "Our street has been serving vegetables for the second time, but with the longer the closure time, the anxiety of grabbing vegetables and hoarding vegetables has not diminished."

  Chen Tong admits that due to the prevention and control of the epidemic, the distribution capacity at the end of the e-commerce platform has also dropped significantly under the background that many supermarkets and food markets are still unable to operate normally, resulting in the contradiction between "the last mile" and "the last hundred meters".

  "The citizens have reported that it is difficult to grab food and cannot deliver it, mainly because the end distribution is under great pressure." Gu Jun said that some communities have been closed for a month, and the demand for living materials of residents has expanded from staple food to daily necessities, epidemic prevention materials and basic medicines.

  Now, the "helper" to alleviate the App’s "difficulty in buying food" is already on the road. The reporter learned that many insurance companies, such as Hungry, Box Horse and Meituan, have mobilized thousands of staff from Beijing, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Anhui and other places to come to Shanghai for support.

  "I want to contribute to Shanghai." On the 9th, Cen Feng, who came to Shanghai for support from RT Mart in Huangyan, Zhejiang, just got off the train and went to Zhongyuan Store in RT Mart, where he devoted himself to the supply guarantee. According to the company’s plan, this store has now "transformed" into a fresh warehouse, and many goods from other places will be transferred from here to other stores.

  Yonghui Supermarket also said that Yonghui will deploy security personnel from Fujian, Anhui and other places to help Shanghai fight the epidemic. In the past week, Yonghui has 50 backbones in Shanghai, and it is expected that another 600 people will be transferred to Shanghai in the coming week.

  Wang Wenbo introduced that in Shanghai, JD.COM has successively deployed more than 2,000 first-line anti-epidemic personnel, including courier brother, to provide services for operational support and material delivery. "It is expected that more manpower will be invested in the follow-up."

  Group buying force

  In order to improve the efficiency of supply guarantee, more effective distribution methods are needed. During the new round of blockade, collection and distribution, group meals and group purchases are becoming effective forces to protect the "vegetable basket" of residents’ homes.

  "At present, the biggest difficulty in ensuring the supply of living materials is how to send them to every household." Liu Min, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce, said that Shanghai is docking with supermarkets and e-commerce platforms, and will deliver living materials to the community through centralized distribution and delivery, so as to cover the basic material needs of as many consumers as possible with limited transportation capacity.

  Many supermarkets in Shanghai have started to take action. On April 3rd, Carrefour launched two ways: community small assembly list and WeChat community collection list. Xiong Xuebing, manager of Carrefour Jinqiao Store, said that this model is not only convenient for enterprises to organize the supply of goods, but also can make maximum use of the transportation capacity.

  The reporter found that compared with the "point-to-point" traditional point-to-point distribution mode, the collection and distribution can meet the basic needs of the residents of the whole community in one breath, and the distribution efficiency is higher, which is more suitable for the current lack of riders in Shanghai.

  However, there is still room for improvement in this model. For example, some "mini-communities" and serviced apartments can’t meet the minimum order quantity of centralized collection and distribution, so it is necessary to arrange "counterpart" enterprises to meet the needs of residents.

  "the last 100 meters"

  In the case of closed control, the "last 100 meters" of material distribution from the entrance of the community to the residents’ homes has become difficult. At present, in the closed residential area of Shanghai, residents often need volunteers to provide services.

  Li Xiaojun, who lives in Minhang District, is a rare young man in a community with a high degree of aging. After the closure was started, Li Xiaojun took the initiative to apply to be a volunteer and participated in the work of organizing nucleic acid sampling and distributing materials. At the same time, we also collect orders offline so that the elderly who can’t use the Internet can also buy and serve. "Through volunteer shifts and social workers, we can solve the food demand of a small part of the community." He said.

  "I haven’t slept for a few days." Cai Xiaobing, the head of YTO Express Shanghai Fuquan Branch, has a hoarse voice. From April 4th, he led the courier brother to volunteer in the nearby community. In less than a week, their service scope extended from the nearby community to the nearby residents for 10 kilometers.

  At the same time, Meituan, JD.COM and other platforms have urgently deployed a lot of "unmanned vehicles" to alleviate the difficulty in the delivery of the "last 100 meters" in Shanghai communities.

  Du Haitao, the stationmaster of Kangqiao Road Station where Meituan buys vegetables, said that the new generation of automatic delivery vehicles with a load of over 150 kilograms will drive to the downstairs of the user units in the community and be taken out by the volunteers stationed downstairs. "After each delivery, we will fully disinfect the inside and outside of the car in time to reduce hidden dangers. This model can save about half of the delivery time compared with the original manual delivery. "

  Special group

  "One can’t be less." To fight the battle of ensuring supply, Shanghai not only needs to effectively solve the common problems, but also do its best to ensure the living and material needs of special groups such as the elderly, the chronically ill, the infants and the disabled.

  Ms. Duan, who lives in the Expo home in Minhang District, said that her father needed to take drugs to improve immunity after surgery, but many hospitals and pharmacies suspended their services during the epidemic. "Later, I found a beneficial drug pharmacy with a healthy drug cloud, and I confirmed that I could send prescription drugs to my door. I suddenly settled a lot." She said.

  Xiao Shuixian, senior vice president of Hungry, said that in response to the rising demand of residents for medicines, more than 1,000 pharmacies have been docked. Since the new round of closure on March 28, nearly 1 million orders for medicines have been sent.

  Chen Tong said that Shanghai has established an emergency special needs guarantee mechanism to thoroughly explore the special groups such as the elderly, infants and disabled people in the territory, so as to make the base clear; Establish a special channel for emergency needs on the e-commerce network enterprise platform to ensure the living materials needs of special people.

  "Among them, baby milk powder has been listed as a key supply guarantee, and the allocation, transportation and distribution of such products will be guaranteed. Major e-commerce platforms and supermarkets will give priority to receiving orders and distribution." Chen Tong said.

  On April 6th, Yonghui Life App launched the function of "special needs for epidemic situation", and received nearly 400 special orders on the first day of launch. At present, orders are growing rapidly. Su Xianyang, the relevant person in charge of Dada Express Shanghai, said that at present, Dada Express has arranged 30 delivery vehicles for the community milk powder distribution project, and it is expected that milk powder can be delivered to 500 families every day.
